twhy Posted December 7, 2004 Report Share Posted December 7, 2004 Before you start stripping the clutch make sure you have some play at the leaver before it starts pushing the m/s piston as this can be the cause of the problem, I bled my clutch but this did not fix my problem then all I done was change the gearbox oil and this cured my clutch drag. Hope this helps. Kev. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jtt Posted December 7, 2004 Report Share Posted December 7, 2004 Like twhy said, first make sure you have some freeplay in the lever adjustment. After that backbleeding is likely the best method, as has been mentioned. Use DOT4 brake fluid. Warped plates are not too likely, but possible. What is more likely and quite common is that the fibre plates have swelled. This will cause dragging and is exagerated by certain tranny oils. Fortunately it's an easy check and fix. CLICK HERE for data on the clutch and a diagram of how to measure it (bottom of the page). Several thicknesses of metal plates are available from your local dealer or importer to make up the necessary clearance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
